Ancient Friends

Happy National Library Week!! A great time to ask everyone you know if they have a library card.

My boyfriend was showing me his cat and I leaned over to kiss the cat on his soft little baby head and he went "meow" and scrambled away because I'd been wearing my headphones and I accidentally jabbed him with the microphone.

And I said "Damn, this is exactly like in the Iliad"

As I approach the end of my undergraduate degree in archaeology, I wanted to make a small thank you gift for my dissertation supervisor. She specialises in the early medieval period and is a big cat fan so I found a funky image from a Medieval Manuscript and embroidered a version of it for her!

The original image (final image!) is from the Peterborough Bestiary, produced in Peterborough, England during the early 14th century and now housed at Corpus Christi College, University of Cambridge (MS 53, fol. 197v).
